Welcome to The Balanced Dietitian Podcast! I hope that you are doing so wonderful now that we are almost done with the first month of 2023. This time of year can be really difficult for so many reasons. It is still cold and dark. We are all coming down from the hype of the holidays. Sometimes it can leave an emptiness or an empty feeling that can happen around this time.
Today I wanted to talk about the different signs or indicators that our relationship to food is not ideal. Some of these things are normalized but the society we live in. They often go unnoticed. Just because something is common doesn’t mean it is right.
In this episode, we discuss:
[04:54] Feeling shame or guilt when we eat certain foods
[06:15] Certain foods are off-limits and consistently overeating all the time
[08:27] Food choices determine our day
[09:47] Playing Tetris with food
[13:21] Benefits of healing your relationship to food

Welcome back to The Balanced Dietitian Podcast! Welcome, 2023! I hope you had a wonderful holiday in general and here we are in 2023. How do we feel? There are so many parts of me pulling when I am thinking about a new year. I love the new year, goal setting, reflection, and new year vibes. There is also a part of me that hates how diet culture gets involved in goal setting and the unrealistic expectations that we put on ourselves for the year.
Today I want to talk about goal setting but I want to do it differently. I really want to talk about what can be helpful and what is unhelpful and try to detach that from what we have been taught and what diet culture has taught us. A lot of us have been taught to set goals and motivate ourselves by shame.
In this episode, we discuss:
[03:10] Value-aligned goal setting and experience goals
[04:12] We are NOT setting weight loss goals
[09:11] Set experience goals instead
[13:02] Things to consider when setting goals
[16:13] Goals about feeling, experience, and value

Welcome back to The Balanced Dietitian Podcast! We are getting so close to the holidays. How are we feeling, my friends? We are visiting my husband’s family for the holidays. We are trying to take some time to disconnect, connect, relax, eat, and chill, all of the wonderful things we do over the holidays.
Every year when we get around this season I get very reflective and the biggest thing that comes back for me always is the idea of actually being able to enjoy the holidays. Growing up, I loved Christmas. It was a fun, happy, and exciting time. For many years I started to hate the holidays. When I had a difficult relationship with food the holidays were so difficult.
Today I really want to talk about different tips and things that we can do to enjoy holiday events and social events in general.
In this episode, we discuss:
[07:08] Bringing in awareness and reflection on the holidays
[11:09] Have a structure and a plan
[16:03] Set intention and visualize
[18:43] Practice self-care and engage in non-food related activities
[21:09] Identify and rely on your support system

So much has happened this year. I got engaged, married, went on my honeymoon, and had my first trip with Anthony. The Balanced Practice grew, we welcomed three new wonderful people to our team this year, we had our first team retreat, we launched our eating disorder program, and had multiple cohorts. It has been a big year! I am really excited for the year to come!
